Reception & Networking

"My whole life has changed since Dr. Nelson implanted my deep brain stimulation three months ago. I don't have the tremors I used to have, and my general outlook on life has improved very much. I now feel like going out and interacting with society! One of the biggest gifts of DBS has been my new ability to just sit still or go for a walk without tremor. The worst part about DBS was the bad haircut! Ha-ha!" Read testimonials
